From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

After they left the central square, Lin Fan, Zhang Xi and Sun Hai led the new disciples to the Physique Peak and arranged their accommodation.

Liang Feng looked around in awe at the Physique Peak main hall.

Shao Xue Cong was more subtle as she stood and observed her surroundings.

Lin Xuan Qi was chatting and trying to figure out information from the menial disciples that were helping them bring their baggage to their living quarters.

"It was a long journey, go and have a good rest.

"The Peak Lord should be back tomorrow, and you can officially be accepted as his disciples."

Zhang Xi briefed them on what was to be happening.

The new disciples bowed and left for their living quarters.

After they left, Sun Hai gave out a sigh and rubbed his bald head.

"Lin Fan, this time, I need you to help me take good care of them." The trauma he had from what had happened earlier still haunted him.

He took it as his fault that he wasn't able to protect his juniors.

So, this time, to make sure that it wouldn't happen again, it was best for him to seek assistance from Lin Fan.

"Don't worry, senior martial brother. I will do my best," Lin Fan bowed and said.

But first, he would get back to his learning of the Abyssal Dragon Soul-Searing Spear Technique.

...

Wooden Hut.

When Lin Fan got back to the wooden hut, Ho Jie prepared a welcome meal for him.

And when it got dark, Lin Fan took out the soul searing stone.

He cycled his Qi through the soul searing stone.

It went on for an hour before he felt his Qi had been fully imbued with the soul searing attribute.

Lin Fan walked out of the wooden hut to test out the Abyssal Fang Stroke.

His body felt chills as his Qi coursed through his body and meridian points.

With the spear head on the ground, Lin Fan flicked it upwards to be level straight, and he thrust the spear forward.

Crack!

This time the Qi wave didn't stop after the first tree trunk and went on to get through the tree trunks behind.

He felt he was successful this time as the cracking sound continued much longer than previously.

He walked along the Qi wave's path and counted.

One.

Two.

...

Twenty.

Success!

The Qi wave stopped at the twentieth tree.

Lin Fan looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late.

He decided to rest for the night and be prepared for tomorrow.

...

Next day.

After Lin Fan had his usual breakfast of steamed buns and tea, he reported at the Physique Peak.

When he arrived, Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi were in their cultivation robes and kneeling in front of the Physique Peak Lord, Zhang Yi Nian.

Zhang Yi Nian was all smiles, and he drank the tea that was offered to him by the new disciples.

"End of ceremony. You are hereby officially the Physique Peak's inner disciples." Sun Hai raised his hands and said.

The new disciples then kowtowed to Zhang Yi Nian, Zhang Xi, Sun Hai and Lin Fan.

"All right. Everyone get up and start your first training in Physique Cultivation. Let your seniors teach you the breathing techniques," Zhang Yi Nian said.

He turned over to Zhang Xi and said, "Wait for me to request some Qi Concentration Pills and Qi Refining Pills for them."

"Qi Concentration Pills and Qi Refining Pills? They already..." Before Zhang Xi could finish her sentence, Lin Fan nudged her.

He interjected and said, "Don't worry, Peak Lord. We will make sure they don't slack around."

Zhang Yi Nian nodded and left for the Million Sword Hall.

After Zhang Yi Nian left, Lin Fan shrugged at Zhang Xi and said, "The more the merrier."

Zhang Xi shook her head.

Maybe that's how the rich ones get richer, she thought silently.

They proceeded to teach Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi how to breathe and sense for the Qi in the air.

Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi did as they were instructed.

They sat in lotus position and started to let their breathing be stable and tried to sense the Qi.

Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads as they weren't able to sense anything.

Lin Fan then saw that they weren't wearing the Qi stabilizing bracelets from Han Dang.

"Wear the bracelets. They should help you sense the Qi."

"Yes, young master Lin Fan..." They quickly got the bracelets out from their clothes and put the bracelets on.

"First, don't call me young master anymore, call me senior martial brother. And secondly, take the Qi Refining Pill after you've exhausted all your energy," Lin Fan said.

"Yes... Senior martial brother." They replied in unison.

With their bracelets on, they got back to focusing on their breathing and sensing the Qi around in the air.

One of Lin Xuan Qi's brows arched as he felt a tingling sensation on his skin when he focused.

Then Shao Xue Cong startled for a moment when she felt the same thing.

Lastly, Liang Feng could sense the Qi a few moments later.

Their talents in cultivation weren't too far apart.

When they exhausted all their energy, they took out a Qi Refining Pill and swallowed it.

...

"I see that you've been training hard and not slacking." Zhang Yi Nian was pleased when he came back from the Million Sword Hall.

The new disciples were sitting on the ground with their cultivation robes sticking to their skin as they were wet and drenched in sweat.

He tried to console them and said, "Don't be too hard on yourselves. No one can sense the Qi after the first training session."

Lin Fan gave him a huge smile and said, "Peak Lord, they've managed to sense the Qi."

Zhang Yi Nian patted Lin Fan on his shoulder and said, "I know it's your first time helping out to train your juniors, don't be too... What?"

He realized what Lin Fan had said and he wanted to confirm with Lin Fan, "They managed to be able to sense the Qi already? But how?"
